Time Well Spent

There are so many things I have learned through my journey in this Master's of Early Childhood Studies program.  The one thing that sticks the most with me is that in one way or another we are all advocates and that advocating for young children and families is what we do everyday!  I constantly share this insight with my colleagues who find themselves surprised that they are considered advocates.

I also learned all the ways in which we can advocate for families and young children from voting, to writing letters, blogging, and communities of practice.  I am excited to share and utilize what I have learned to better advocate for families and young children. 

I have also learned how to identify issues and challenges that I am passionate about.  I have learned out to analyze these issues and challenges and how to create a response to these challenges. 

My long term goal is to continue my education and to go on for a Doctorate in my field.  While I am still trying to decide on an exact specialization and program, it is definitely something I want to achieve.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of my fellow students.  It has been a joy to experience this journey with each of you.  Your feedback has been invaluable and I look forward to staying in touch with each of you.  I would also like to thank the instructors of our program for their support, encouragement, and feedback that assisted each of us in achieving our goal of a Master's Degree in our field.
